2. Lü Yan and Lady Qi

Lady Qi was one of the most humble concubines in Chinese history. During the great battle between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, they passed through Dingtao, Shandong And met Lady Qi. Mrs. Qi was good at dancing the dance of "folding sleeves and bending waist", and was a famous singer and dancer at that time. Liu Bang loved her the most, every time he went out to take Lady Qi, emotionally especially dependent on Lady Qi, in his spare time, he was almost with Lady Qi's mother and son, and named the son they brought Liu Ruyi to show his love for his mother and son, Lady Qi knew that once Liu Ying arrived as the crown prince, Lü Yan was the empress, and the life and death of her mother and son were in the hands of Lü Yan. And for Lü Yan, after three years of hostage-taking and hard service to his father-in-law, he saw that Liu Bang had another Lady Qi who was quite favored by him, and this Lady Qi did not know what to do, and she was not favored enough, and she cried in front of Liu Bang every day, Lü Yan was not happy in her heart, I raised children for you at home, worked very hard for your mother-in-law, suffered for you, and planned for your career, but you were here nephrite warm and fragrant, and let her show her love in front of my eyes. She is a virtuous and kind daughter-in-law, but she is also a woman who hopes to get her husband's exclusive favor, so Lü Yan, who has ascended to the throne, began to plan. Lady Qi also chewed the root of her tongue in Liu Bang's ear for many years, often saying: "Liu Ying's benevolent and weak personality is not like you at all, but Liu Ruyi's decisive killing has your demeanor." Liu Bang listened to Lady Qi's rumors and began to plan to abolish the concubine born to Lü Hou and make Ruyi the Prince of Zhao the crown prince. In 197 BC, Liu Bang wanted to depose Liu Ying in the early dynasty, make Ruyi the crown prince, and end up with the opposition of the Qunchen, serving Lü Yan and feeling threatened, accelerating the pace of action, and bowing to Zhou Chang in order to protect his son's position. Liu Ying was kind and generous, and with the help of Lü Yan, he was recognized by the ministers, and Liu Bang had no choice but to say to Lady Qi, I will treat you kindly after The Right Lü Hou. After experiencing the storm of deposing the crown prince, Lü Hou already hated Lady Qi to death, so after liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gaozu, had just died in the thirteenth year of Han Dynasty, Lü Hou could not wait to imprison Lady Qi who had lost her patron in Yongxiang, let her wear the clothes of a prisoner, do heavy physical work, and torture Lady Qi, who had once been like a flower, into an inhuman appearance. In the end, Lü Hou cruelly ordered someone to chop off Lady Qi's hands and feet, cut off her eyes, fed her poison, and finally threw her into the toilet, and personally named her "Ren Yan".
